I'm getting a message "Microsoft Access was unable to make an MDE database".
I've tried creating a new database. I've checked MS site for fix, but cannot
get it to work. Any Suggestions anyone?


Thanks
 
Two possibilities come to mind:

1. There may be coding errors in the database; these will
prevent the creation of an MDE. Open any code module and, from the VBA
menu, select Debug, then Compile. If there are any errors, you will see an
error message and the problem line of code will be highlighted. Continue
compiling until the compile completes with no messages at all.

2. If you are using Access 2002 or 2003, the default database format is
Access 2000. Unfortunately, if you use the Access 2000 database format in
Access 2002/3, you cannot create an MDE. You may only create an MDE of an
Access 2000-format database using Access 2000.

Cheryl,

Thanks, I just needed to be reminded of this, I had forgot. It now works
like a charm. Again thanks.
